BIG CONTRACT GIVEN.
The Ocean Steamship Co. to Rebuild
it's Wharves in New York.

Inc ocean steamship 20. to lie Du1 I0
it's Wharves in New York.
Contracts have just been signed by
Gen. Alexander, President of the Ocean
Steamship Company, for the rebuilding
OF the company's present pier, No. 35, in
New York. Work will soon be commenced
and rather sooner than was expected.
The Charleston line has given up, or Is
about TO give up, its pier No. %, and the
Ocean Steamship Company has rented it
until pier No. 30 is rebuilt. The pier is
above Canal street at about the foot of
Spring street, and is 800 feet long and
go feet wide.
1t will be rebuilt on pilng, and the i'm
prOvements Will cost 100000. That
amount, however, the company considers
as extended over sixteen years, that be-
ing the slime the lease Is to run.
One of the provisions was at the CON-
pany should rebuild the pier within five
years from the date OF the making OF the
lease -Four years have almost elapsed,
and the work would have had to be done
the coming summer anyhow. The original
intention was to wait until the traffic be-
came slack in the summer, and then 90
to work. AS the Charleston pier can be
had the work of rebuilding will be started
as soon as the spring opens. Consider.
able dredging will have to be done
While the work is in progress it is I'M
derstood that some Of the company's
ships will be laid up.

THE ARrESi WELLS.
The Third Well at the Water
Works Down 26O Feet.

The third artesian well at the water
works has reached a depth of 28o feet.
Supt Miller expects to have a good flow
of water by the last of the week. The
work was considerably delayed by the
strata of quicksand which was encoun-
Tered at depth of something less than
200 feet. 1t was finally got through, and
just below it the drill struck a hard rock
strata, II feet through.
The work has been necessarily slow,
but will progress more rapidly now that
the qulcksand and rock strata have been
passed. AS soon as a good flow of water
Is obtained work on the fourth we'll will
be begun. Supt. Miller hopes to have the
system complete and In operation by
May ].
The City and Suburban railway people
have not been so fortunate with the we'll
which they are sinking a. the company's
stables. AT depth of $50 feet the drill
suddenly dropped several feet, the water
in the piping fell aud although the drill
has been kept going the water has failed
to rise to it's former height.

Changing the Color Of Cars.

The Georgia Central officials say that
Tuscan red was adopted as the standard
color OF their oars because it wears bet
ter. Another reason is that 1t does not
absorb neat so much as darker colors, and
hence the cars painted red are cooler than
coaches covered with dark paint. The
first complete train Of passenger coaches,
all in the new color, pulled out OF Savan-
